As someone who's tried a few times with SKS and GB's, a junior hacksaw is not the tool for the job, IMO. I'd be more tempted to pay for someone to do it for me, or just nip down to Wickes and grab a dremel.
I concur. A dremel and/or a set of bolt cutters can be good. I generally recommend a dremel as you can smooth off any sharp burrs.
There's normally a couple of intermediate steps mainly involving swearing. And some bleeding. You can fit these in around any of the 6 steps above, repeating as necessary.
